The state's General Assembly voted earlier this year to add up to 400,000 uninsured, low-income Virginians to the state’s Medicaid rolls after a deal was struck over work requirements. Republican resistance in the state has long stymied advocates' efforts to expand the program. Meanwhile, other states that haven't approved expansion yet might have to bend to the will of their voters if ballot measures pass.
